While restaurants are forced to adapt to new business models, and grocery stores struggle to keep basics on the shelves, there’s one sector of the food industry that’s been flooded with new customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This time on Chew Diligence, Lindsay and Jill talk with local farmers and ranchers about the impacts, both good and bad, the health crisis has presented for them. On this episode, our co-hosts are joined by Patrick Montgomery of KC Cattle Company, Matt Shatto of Shatto Milk Company and Alicia Ellingsworth of the Kansas City Food Hub.
We test Shatto salted Butter and also give a shout out to companies to send us their Buttery tools so we can test and give our unbiased opinion!
We were driving along Hwy 33 in Osborn, Missouri when it came into view. A tower standing a 100-ft or so tall, it’s bright white paint a stark contrast against the baby blue sky. In bold, black letters down the side of the tower we could make out the letters “M I L K.” It’s here that we talked with Matt Shatto about his family’s journey of building their small dairy farm, Shatto Milk Company, into a successful multi-faceted farm-to-market business…and becoming one of the Midwest’s most beloved dairies along the way. Join us as we chat about the day they decided to cut the cord with their co-op, how they’ve expanded their product line to include award-winning cheeses, ice creams and flavored milks (root beer milk anyone?), and how they reincarnated the milk man with their home delivery service – a business model that not only includes their products, but meats and produce from other local farmers as well. Afterward, we challenge you to check out ShattoMilk.com and try not to drool.

Their family has been farming there for more than 100 years and began a dairy farm more than 80 years ago. In June 2003 they began processing their own milk, on the farm. They decided to bottle their own milk, in glass bottles, for the purpose of providing customers with the freshest and best tasting dairy products possible.They offer home delivery and have a farm store, where they sell 12 flavors of milk, and also produce their own cheese, ice cream and butter. Tours of their operation are conducted regularly and other special events are scheduled the year.
Leroy is the founder of the Shatto Milk Company, a dairy farm truly local to Kansas City (as if you didn’t know). Most people know them for their glass bottles and their amazing chocolate milk. He and Dan sat down , literally on a couple milk crates, to chat about the fun of owning cows […]
